    I don’t see Trump telling big oil to sell gas at cost for the foreseeable future so I guess he is fine with the American consumer footing the bill of his war.

      He’s always been fine with it.

      The rich already have money, they want stuff now. Sure, spend a few million more afford their lifestyles, but they’re fucking billionaires. Meanwhile, everyday people are selling their houses and going back to renting to get by, or their farm goes under and they have to sell. We sell our shit to survive, and the rich buy it up because they are the only people with expendable income. Trump and his cronies found out during the pandemic that harsh times are really good for the ultra-wealthy. The affordability crisis is a bonus feature of his Epstein-files-distraction war.

      Yeah he said “we’re making a lot of money”. And by “we” he means him and his cronies

      He doesn’t give a shit. He’s insulated enough, and he got the votes he wanted in the transaction. Americans can pound sand with this guy.
